The knowledge base states that we can search by various fields:
First, Last Name
Patient Record Number
Date of Birth
Sex
Contact information (address, home and mobile phone numbers)
Time/Date that chart was last accessed.

However, we can only search by DOB, Name, SSN, or PRN. Please add the search capability for other fields such as address, phone/cell, and others for which the knowledge base incorrectly states we can enter as search parameters.

Enable the system find patients by any string that matches the string entered in the search bar. For example, if there are 20 clients with the first 5 letters that are the same, but the 6th,7th, 8th are more unique, then I may want to search by that name. For example, searching by the initial letters of "cha" may produce many results, but "pman" will produce few when looking for "chapman".

Link files of those who are married; this is critical for psychotherapy because couples are considered a singular client/treatment unit. And, with the integrated medical model, psychotherapists are working in and with medical associations, making this a need unanswered with the EHR.

As many of you know, we have deployed the ability for faxes to flow into Practice Fusion from Updox. This method of document publishing may be a positive alternative to scanning of documents.

We will leave this idea as “Acknowledged” for now.

To sign up for this service, please fill in the Updox form here http://info.updox.com/updox-practicefusion/ to create your Updox account or call an Updox representative at (614) 798-8170 ext. 1 to begin the process.

Hi everyone – As of 1/19/2017, we have introduced a new schedule setting to all practices that allows administrators to determine if encounters will be auto-generated for appointments marked as cancelled or no-show.

We have also introduced a new Appointment Report that allows practices to review and filter appointments by facility, status, provider, and date, making it easier to track cancellations, no shows, and other scheduling details.

Having to save a patient's file then wait (for a long time sometimes) to change screens while the data is saved to then click on the Profile tab, then enter notes is a laborious process, costing in labor and happiness of staff.

Fields are missing from the template, making integration with the EHR seemingly impossible, and making creation of templates for intake nearly worthless. The intake need include all fields that an office admin would enter (including the options) when creating a patient, otherwise integration is not actually occurring, and paperwork is still (un)necessary.

Examples include:
Date of Death
Social Security Number
Next of Kin (Emergency Contact is offered, but it is not clear if this is meant to be the next of kin information; they may be very different to the patient)
Preferred method of being contacted

The intake is not accurate with respect to sex and fails to permit identification of gender. Sex is not binary: male or female. As a medical record provider, accuracy is critical. Add "Intersex" as an option. Additionally, gender is not included in basic demographics. Please add gender with the following options: Pre-Op
Transitioning
Post-Op
FTM
MTF
Cis Female
Cis Male
